Why trade business websites need ongoing care
For trade businesses, the website is usually the first point of contact after a Google search: services, service area, phone number, enquiry form. If the form fails after an update, nobody notices – the enquiries simply stop arriving, while the competition keeps being found.
Security
Firewall, login protection and malware scans prevent your business website from being misused for spam or phishing and flagged as unsafe by Google.
Enquiries & callbacks
The contact form, callback button and click-to-call are your order intake. We test submission regularly and monitor deliverability.
Local visibility
Opening hours, service area and company details must be correct and machine-readable. We check structured data and the connection to your Google Business Profile.
Reference photos
Images straight from a smartphone are huge and slow the page down. We compress them automatically so that your work becomes visible quickly.
Performance
Your customers search on mobile, often on the move. Short load times and an instantly tappable phone number bring more jobs than any animation.
Updates & backups
Tested updates in fixed cycles, daily external backups – including restoration if an update breaks something.
Resilience
Monitoring reports outages automatically. Otherwise an offline business website is only noticed when the phone stays quiet.
Personal point of contact
You have no IT team and don't want one. You write or call – we know your setup and reply without technical jargon.
Industry knowledge
What does a trade business's website need?
Customers of trade businesses mostly search on mobile and are in a hurry. The website must therefore load quickly, show the phone number and enquiry form immediately, and work reliably. For licence-required trades, the competent chamber of crafts and the professional title must also appear in the imprint. Regular maintenance ensures that no enquiry is lost through a defective form.
Legal framework for trade businesses
- § 5 DDG: Imprint, for licence-required trades including chamber and professional title.
- Art. 13 GDPR: Privacy policy for forms, maps and review widgets.
- § 25 TDDDG: Consent for Google Maps, videos and tracking.
- Art. 32 GDPR: Up-to-date, secured software.
What we check with every maintenance
- Click-to-call and emergency service number work
- Enquiry form including photo upload arrives
- Mobile load time
- Directions map loads after consent
- Review and seal widgets up to date
- Daily external backups
| Requirement | Why it matters | How we implement it |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile enquiries | Customers get in touch spontaneously from their smartphone | Tests on mobile devices after updates |
| Emergency service visible | With a burst pipe or heating failure, every minute counts | Checking phone links and the contact area |
| Local discoverability | Customers search for businesses near them | Technical SEO maintenance, structured data |
| No lost enquiries | A silent form problem costs jobs | Form tests and delivery checks |
